<strong>Commonwealth</strong> <strong>Games</strong> 2010 created a<br />

press centre which was found not only at par with any<br />

such facility created the world over for such multidiscipline<br />

mega events but even surpassed them in<br />

creating a Main Press Centre (MPC) which has been<br />

rated as the best in the history of the <strong>Commonwealth</strong><br />

<strong>Games</strong>. Located at Pragati Maidan, the MPC<br />

provided a central workplace for accredited print and<br />

photo journalists and non-rights holding broadcasters.<br />

Spread over 6,700 square metre of area, it was one<br />

of the largest media centres set up in the history of<br />

the <strong>Commonwealth</strong> <strong>Games</strong>. As a result, news of the<br />

success of the <strong>Games</strong> reached out to a television<br />

audience of over 2 billion across the world as well as<br />

countless readers of the print media.<br />

Voices<br />

These were the best <strong>Commonwealth</strong><br />

<strong>Games</strong> ever.<br />
